No Answers

In the mid
to later years
when I invited her
to share
such things
with me

as books,
movies,
simple conversation,
she could not
or would not,
was unwilling
or unable.

In those days,
silenced
by her silence,
I never thought
to ask her
which it was.

But now,
in the weeks
and months
since she's been gone,
I ask this
of myself
and find I have
no answers...
